Wij werken samen met kinderen en tieners om hun stem in de EU-besluitvorming te versterken. De plannen en strategieën die de basis voor onze werkzaamheden vormen, worden ontwikkeld in overleg met kinderen en tieners in de EU.
In dit tweede werkplan wordt beschreven aan welke onderwerpen we in 2025-2026 samen met kinderen zullen werken. Het doel is om de prioriteiten van kinderen af te stemmen op die van de Commissie, zodat hun opvattingen kunnen dienen als input voor EU-beleid en andere EU-initiatieven.
